Introduction:
Mythology is a fascinating area of study that reveals the beliefs and values of a particular culture. Every culture has its unique mythology, and these stories often have similar themes, imagery, and motifs. In this article, we will explore the similarities between Mesoamerican deities Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan and the biblical figure Satan, as well as the linguistic similarities between the Irish myth of Cuchulain and the names Setanta and Lugh. We will also postulate upon a possible spiritual connection between the ancient American world and Ireland, which has been expanded upon and inserted into the Bible.
Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan:
Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan are two closely related deities from Mesoamerican mythology, both of whom are associated with the feathered serpent. The feathered serpent is a common motif found in different cultures across the world and has many symbolic meanings. In Mesoamerican mythology, it was believed that Quetzalcoatl was responsible for creating humanity and teaching them various arts and crafts, including agriculture and medicine. Kukulkan, on the other hand, was worshipped by the Maya people and was believed to bring rain, wind, and good harvests.
Interestingly, there are some similarities between the imagery associated with Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, and that of Satan in the Bible. For instance, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan are often depicted as serpents, which is also a common symbol associated with Satan. Additionally, Quetzalcoatl is often referred to as the morning star, and Satan is also called the “son of the morning.” Both of these deities are associated with the dawn, and the symbolism of the serpent and the morning star suggests that they are linked to ideas of knowledge, wisdom, and transformation.
However, it is essential to note that these similarities do not imply any direct influence or connection between Mesoamerican mythology and the Bible. Rather, it is more likely that these similarities reflect universal human experiences and concerns that are expressed through different mythologies using similar symbols and themes.
